1st Xray

I had my 1st x-ray in my life today.

It was an x-ray of my lungs. Cos I've been coughing for more than a month.

The x-ray experience was indeed a memorable one.

1) The person at the Diagnostic Radiology Centre reception is the perfect example of a bad service staff. She handed me a form where I had to sign to confirm that I wasn't pregnant. Well, being the usual blur me, I couldn't find the box. She grew impatient and was like, "It's on the right, it's on the right". I scanned the right side of the form umpteen times, but I still couldn't find the box. The reason? It was on HER right, NOT MINE! And she started tapping her finger at the box - a clear sign of impatience. No wonder people say that the quality of service in Singapore is way below standard! I absolutely agree.

2) I had to change into this blue gown which made me feel pretty uncomfortable. Cos it was soo chilly in there. Plus, I was without my bra. Not used to that kind of feeling - like so "empty"! Hahaha!

3) The radiographer was a nice and friendly lady. I had to stand against this white panel and hold my breath. It was all done in less than 30 secs!

4) It was nice to see how your rib cage and lungs look like. Mine had a bonus! The top of my stomach was also included in the film! WoOhoO! (Like got no food inside leh! It was clear.)

The diagnosis: There was a shadow at my lower left lung on the x-ray film. The doctor said that I have a mild infection on my left lung. So he prescribed me 2 weeks of "stronger" antibiotics, and I gotta go back for a review in 2 weeks.

Oh well. Have been thinking of alternatives if I can't make it to a uni. Being a radiographer seems pretty ok, from what I saw today. Otherwise, there's still Shatec. Hmmm....

WoOhoO! There's a jap drama on ice hockey starting next week. And cutey Takuya Kimura is starring in it! Weeee.......

Oh boy. I haven't done much revision today. Argh!
